Death OF Mrs. SNYDER.

Mrs. Frederick Snyder, Of Hurricane
died very suddenly at her home on the
9th inst. An aged husband and nu-
merous sons and daughters are left to
mourn her loss, and possess the SYM
pathy of wide circle of friends and
neighbors Although in rather feeble
health for some time past, Mrs. Snyder
on the morning before her death was
in her usual health. Several members
of the family were away at the camp
meeting at Burton and we are told it
was her intention to attend in the after
noon of the day on which she died.
Two members of the family were at
home and they with their mother par
took of breakfast, the son going to the
barn to harness his team, and the
daughter being engaged about house
hold duties. On returning to the room
she found her mother lying on the floor
dead. Apparently having died instant
ly and without moments warning or
an cutlery.
The sad news was carried to the aged
husband and daughters absent at Bur-
ton and other relatives near by, while
others more distant were summoned
by telegraph.
The funeral occurred at Lancaster on
Tuesday services being held at the M
E. church. Five German Methodist
clergymen took part in the ceremonies
the prayers was made by the Rev.
Prof. Schaub, of Gaena. The sermon
was preached by the Rev. Mr.. Bremen
Presiding Elder of the Galena district.
The names of the other ministers we
have been unable to learn.
Nearly fifty carriages filed with neigh
bors and friends joined in the sorrow
full procession that followed the remains
from the Snyder homestead to the GEM
etery at Lancaster. The church was
filled to completeness by those who
listened to the eloquent and touching
sermon preached in the German lam
guage by Elder Bremen.
Mrs Snyder was born in Germany in
1919 and was married to Mr.. Frederick
Snyder in 1889, coming to Hazel Green
Wisconsin about the year 1849 and re-
moving to Hurricane in 49, She was
woman of singularly energetic and de-
cisive spirit, Strong in the christian
faith which she had professed for many
years. Her influence was for good
with all who knew her and she possessed
the deepest respect of all.
She leaves five sons and four daugh-
ters. The sons are Mr.. Charles Sny-
der, of Lancaster, Lewis, of Cassville,
Samuel, of Bloomington, and Joseph
and Frederick, of Hurricane. The
eldest daughter is the wife of Mr. Henry
Hoffman, of Beetown. another the wife
of Rev. Philip Schaub, of Tomah, Wis.
and two who remain ut home.

Public sentiment is rising. The
drunkard is not in demand. The
railroad companies don't want

passing resolutions against license and
the whole system of liquor business.
The church should speak out for the re-
moval of intemperance. Especially are
the Southern churches expressing their
opposition to license. In the Catholic

The detailed account of the
collapse of the California wheat
corner, which has just been published,
adds little to what the outside world
already knew about that Inflated en-
terprise, excepting on two points. The
amount of money invested in the deal
appears to have been greater than the
general public heretofore had been led
to believe, and the failure of the scheme
brought the gentlemen at the head of
it closer to absolute financial ruin than
the previously published reports indi-
Gated. In its broad features. the San
Francisco wheat corner, which en- ded
about three weeks ago, differed little
from the wheat deal which collapsed
in Chicago few weeks earlier, or the
combines in wheat, coffee, pork and
other speculative commodities in Chi
cago nd New York in recent years.

NOTES ON THE RACES

Hon Geo. G.. Cox, of Mineral Point,
L. j. Brooks, of Boscobel, and l.. j.
Arthur, of Lancaster. acted as judges
in the races here last week. The posi-
ton is difficult and not altogether
agreeable one, but the gentlemen sue
ceeded in discharging their duties to
the entire satisfaction of the association
and their decisions met with the appro-
baton of the crowd.
The "hippodrome" business was
nipped in the bud when the judges
sent three horses TO the barn in the
three-minute race last Friday. When
people pay their Nancy to see races
they don't want to see hippodromes,
and an association can't afford to allow
them.
The running race last Friday was a
good one aad the time fast. The second
heat was close between Wild Frank
and Henrietta Frank burst a blood
vessel in his head and came in bleeding
al the nose. He was drawn, and will
not be likely to start again for some
time.
Messrs., &c. b. Eastman, of Boscobel,
and Chas. Specht, of Prairie du Chen,
were selected as timers by the judges.
1t takes good horse to beat German
Boy on this track-or on any other in
fact. He is as honest trotter as ever
entered in race. The first full mile ut
full speed he has had this season was
on this track and he never did nicer
work.
Demander, the winner of the three
minute race is owned by Frank Smrcina
of Prairie du Chen, purchased from the
Dousman estate. Demander is one of
the finest bred stations in the North
west. He was sired by Dictator, and is
a half brother to Jay Eye See. He is
five years old, and started in his first
race here last Thursday. He did not
have to trot very last to win the race,
but he showed his endurance. He got
better every heat.
The three-year-old colt 'Hamdella, +"
the winner of the colt race made most
favorable impression here. This was
his first race. He has not been broken
over three months. His style is superb
and he can't help being trotter. He
is owned by w. G. Russell of La Crosse.
